As a clinician who has been fighting in the mental health profession for a long time, complaining of “insomnia” is the most common problem in the psychological clinic. According to statistics, there are about 300 million patients with sleep disorders in China, and as many as 500 million people with poor sleep. 13% of the insomnia population has never seen a specialist or been treated with medication. Insomnia has become a psychological problem for many people, and seriously affects the quality of work and physiology. The concept of sleep is defined in our CCMD-3 diagnostic criteria in a very simple way, that is, dissatisfaction with the quality and quantity of sleep is called insomnia, as long as the inability to sleep, sleep, and sleep is not unified is called insomnia. The current international definition of insomnia is more specific, standard one, lying in bed for more than 30 minutes without falling asleep, standard two, always waking up in the middle of the night, waking up more than two or three times, standard three, waking up before dawn, commonly known as early awakening, standard four, nightmares night after night, nightmares nightmare episodes like a television series. When encountering insomnia is like ants on a hot pot, insomnia pain can only be experienced by those who experience insomnia, sleeping pills are like a lifesaver, becoming a sleep treasure trove for many people. But there is one thing to point out, there are some people who really sleep poorly, chronic insomnia can take sleeping pills, but 80% of insomnia is caused by psychological reasons, such as anxiety and depression, so they must first solve the psychological burden, sleep can improve, taking sleeping pills also do not have to be afraid, as long as under the guidance of a professional physician, gradually withdraw the drug, usually will not become addicted. There are some health supplements that are useful, such as the familiar herbs cypress kernel and sour date, and health supplements containing this ingredient can assist in sleep in a certain sense. But there are some so-called health care products by the drug test, the results are shocking, the drugs are full of western medicine ingredients, these western medicine ingredients will cause the human body to drug dependence, as long as a stop taking drugs, the patient simply can not sleep, this is commonly known as drug addiction. Once this happens, it is even more terrible than insomnia itself, so you must be scientifically cautious when choosing health care products. Here, I sincerely remind the majority of insomnia patients and their families that the treatment of insomnia must be adjusted systematically under the guidance of a professional physician. First, put aside the shyness, boldly face the doctor and report the medical history truthfully and in detail. Secondly, let go of the psychology of fear, do not hold on to the drug instructions firmly, and stop in front of those who are not necessarily occurring in their own side effects, thus delaying the treatment. In the midst of treatment, we must let go of the psychology of luck, do not think that if you sleep well tonight, you do not need to take the medication tomorrow night, do not reduce or stop the medication on your own, which is the result of repeated and untreated disease. The support of family members is also related to the patient’s recovery. Insomniacs are often vulnerable, and the disappointment of not being cured for a long time and the sorry psychology of their family members make them very sensitive to the language and attitude of their relatives, and a thoughtless complaint may make them lose all their confidence, while a warm word of comfort will add strength to them, so that they do not feel alone and thus build up their self-confidence. Families of insomnia patients must give great love, patience and support. With a proper understanding of insomnia, a proper understanding of the burden, a systematic and formal adjustment, and the efforts of social support systems such as family and friends, I am sure you can sleep better!
